PATENT fri-'ic s. y `r application mea November 6,1926. serial m.146,656.

The invention relates to fluid burners and more especially to the classof gas burners. The primary object of the invention is the provision ofa burner of lthis character, wherein the construction thereof enablesthe consumption of gas whether under light or i so that it can begrouped with othersimilar burner elements to increase the capacity ofthe equipment, when associated with a furn nace or other like structureused for vmanufacturing or domestic purposes.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a burner Vof thischaracter, wherein the construction thereof enables the nesting of thesame so that a plurality of like burners can be used in banked orgrouped assemblage, the burner proper being readily disassembled, topermit easy cleaning thereof, repairing or `replacement of any of itsparts. f

A still further object of the invention 1s the provision of a burner ofthis character, which is extremely simple inl its construction,thoroughly reliable and efficient in its purpose, strong, durable, andinexpensive to manufacture and install.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in thefeatures 'of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as willbe hereinafter morefully described, illustrated in the laccompanyingdrawings, showing the preferred embodiments of the invention, andpointed out in ythe claims hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawings: y Figure 1 is a top plan view showing a.bank or group of gas burners or a multiple combination of individualunit burners for anl industrial gas burner outfit, constructed inaccordance with the invention.

I Figure 7 is a side elevation thereof.

Similar'reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughoutVthe several views in the drawings. l

Referring to the drawings in detail, l()

designates generally a portion of the gas main pipe having leadingtherefrom'the intermediate and outer lbranch supply pipes 11y and 12,respectively, which are disposed in spaced parallel relation to leachother and of the required length, lying in the same plane one with theother, the outer en'ds of each of the branch pipes being itted with aremovable cap 13 tapped thereon. These branch pipes l1 and-12, eachserve a plurality of individual gas burner elements hereinafter-fullydescribed.

Upon each branch pipe l1 and 12, is av bracket 14 supporting superposedrelative to said pipes the vindividual gas burner or element, whichcomprises a substantially squared or rectangular shaped box like body15, the latter being fastened to the` bracket through the medium of ascrew 16, although any other suitable fastener may be employed,the'bracket being cut away to provide a `seat 17 to accommodate the body15 as is clearly shown in Figure '2 of the dra-wings. This body 15`isopen at opposite ends and at a point removed lfror'nthe open upper endis` formed a web or partition 18 having a central circular opening 19providing an outlet while above said partition at the corners of thebody 15 are formed bearing lugs 20 upon which rest a removable coverelement or member 21. The cover elementk or member v21 is ofsubstantially squared or rectangular shape .having cup formation withthey downwardly tapered marginal wall 422. provided externally at thecorners thereof with ribs or flanges 23 whichvengage inthe corners ofthe body 15 at the upper open end thereof, so that between the said bodyand the Cfi v desiredassemblage of the gas burner units 'in the groupingor banking thereof.

wall 22 of the cover element or member 21 are interrupted spaces 24 forthe passage oi products of combustion from within the burner element aswill be apparent,

Removably iitted in the lower open endof the body 15 of the burnerelement :is a vbot-V tom section 25 having a central aperture or opening26 forming an intake,r the latter being disposed in vert-icalaxialaligninent with aA perforation 27 formed in thegbranch pipe 11 orl2.l This bottom section 2 5 at one side is formed with an ear 28intowhich is tapped a screw 29 or other fastener inserted throughsuitable hole in the side wallet' so that in this manner the said bottomsection 25 will be made tast to the body member. The bottom section 25is formed, with a lateral marginal iiange 30 throughout, which isadapted to abut the ,inaro'inal ed e of the lower o en end of the body15 ofthe burner clement las is clearly shown in Figure 2 of thedrawings.

It is understood that the number of brackets 14 upon eaclibranch pipe 11or 12 corresponds to the number of individual gas burner element-semployed to make up the set, bank, or group, for use in af furnace formanufacturing or domestic purposes. These brackets 14 each is made fastupon the branch pipe through the medium of a set screw 31 orotherfastener, so that the said brackets can be adjusted Yfor regulating theArranged exterior-ly on each body 15 at A one sidethereof isa singlespacer lug 32,

while on another side at right angles to this first mentioned side isanother single spacer lug 33 and on still another side directly opnposite the last named side is a pair of spaced lugs 34, which lattercooperate and interlock with kthe lug 33 on the side of an'adjacentindividual gas burner unit, vso that in this manner these units upon onebranch pipe will be interlocked with each other in spaced relation toone another in row formation.

The lugs 32 serve to space the individual gas burner units oftherespectiverowsfrom each other as is clearly shown in Figure 1 of the udrawings.

The individual gas burner units of each row are united together throughthe medium of a tie bolt 35 having the usual nut 36 threaded thereonandt trained through a spacer sleeve 37 located `between adjacent units,the bolt being passed through suit- Y able apertures formed in sidewalls adjacent eoY each other of the bodies 15 of said units. The webA0r partition 18 in eachjbody` 151 separates the burner head from themixing j chamber 38, the burner head being consti- `tuted by the upperopen end and the cover element or .member 21. The gas fluid from themain 10 is supplied to the "burner units through the port 27 and opening26 into the chamber 38, whence air will vmix therewith and this mixturewill rise to contact with the base oi' the cover element or member 21,thence the said mixture will be caused to 'spread and-pass outmarginally of said cover element or member 21 through the spaces 24,

where the mixture is ignited. Asbestos packing, `lire clay, or othersimilar materials may be carried within the cover element or member 21inthe depression formed therein as willvbe clearly apparent.
